Notes

There is a slight error in the back cover art. I do not have time right now to replace that file (which would require replacing all files), so get it from here in the meantime :

Subject: Nice start...
...but overall, this isn't so good. Repetitive (not in a good way) and needs a bit more compositional work. The ideas here are good but frankly the musicianship is a bit sub-par.

Subject: Great stuff
This recording is great; a mixture of doom with dark ambient, with a crude black metal atmosphere... I want to hear some more material from this project.

Subject: Very doom indeed
Industrial doom at its bleakest and ugliest..not to mention slowest. Sounds like a funeral procession for an ancient robot race in the far, far future...on a distant sludge infested planet.

Very trance inducing, gets under your skin...slowly...and stays there.

Mostly instrumental, but it works great that way.

Subject: well... no
I am really fond of funeral doom and have some CDs of this genre. Yet the music here is something that does not appeal to me. The main reason is: it has been done on a computer. The other one is the lack of voice.
take until death overtakes me for instance. Electronic elements play a key factor in the first releases, but they are used properly to create a great atmosphere. This is what I miss here. Some elements are quite nice, but the overall idea is not clear.

Subject: Heavy and Crushing with a touch of ambience
This is a brilliant example of heavy, crushing funeral-doom metal. The incredibly distorted guitars create dense a wall of bass-heavy noise. The songs never breach anything more than mid-tempo and serve to create a sound that is akin to having your head torn apart audibly, in extremely slow motion. This is recommended to people who like bands such as Khanate, Sunn o))) and Esoteric (the founders of funeral doom).

I would definately like to hear more music from Atreus!
